Des has brought a lot of this on himself, the nepotism in the coaching ranks he introduced, there is no diversity in opinions/ methods.
Player retention look who Des has extended / purchased over the last 3 seasons.
Need a culture changing coach, maybe time for Des to take a comfy seat in the front office.

Des is trying his best to show faith in his players and saying his players will drag themselves out of this hole
Des, those same players are taking the piss.
Pick some young players who have enthusiasm and potential to get better, a lot better.
Suli and Parker need to go for a start.

Like next weeks team
He has lost his fire. I'm sorry but he has. Where is the Des that got angry at Parramatta and tore the hinges off. And that was at a very decent manly side. This team should be copping worse. Feels like the players hate each other. There's no high fives or pumping each other. There's no communication. No fight. Not sure what your seeing Des. You can even see the body language of and DCE. How you cou continuously pick some of those under performing players. It's mind boggling.
He's lost the dressing room. Players don't care. Don't even know if Des cares anymore. Those players should be ashamed of themselves. We were in the first half?? 18-0 down?? 45% completion rate? You kidding me. We were never in this game. Infact we haven't been in a game in a long time even stretching to last year.
Results driven business??? Since the Penns took over it's all gone to ****. Get out of my club. Sell it and move on. The lack of care stems from the very top.

Some have fight.
Some are putting in.
Some are not first grade level...but he keeps picking them!!
Completely lost any faith at all in Hasler.
He is cooked.

Agree. You can see the fight in aloha (that will do), Saab and schuster, plus Davy before last week. The rest need a big wake up and a reminder of what it means to be a Sea Eagle. More guys like Toff to put the pressure on the dead wood.

The Parker selection is a real head scratcher. The poor knock kneed bugger is, was, and always will be, the least athletic centre to ever lace a boot in the modern era. Can't fault his effort, but having a dig can only get you so far.
He is a solid, back-up player.

The goat photos are real. Not sure people realize that.

Just watched the 1st half we made so many handling errors and had enough opportunities and field position to be on top. There is still definitely evident capability within the team and I honestly understand what Des is trying to say. I believe the team can dig there way out however it certainly won’t be next week against the Panthers. .
Can you please tell us what Des is trying to say Red Pill. The rest of us need an interpreter.
I know one thing he did say.” The Dragons are coming off a loss so they’ll be tough “
Really ! Tough win against the odds in Townsville.
The only way you can coach like he does is by not watching any non manly games since Covid. That’s the ONLY possible way.
And that comment probably tells you he doesn’t.

He cares enough to accept a pay packet each week, and sign on for another two years.

Old Willo had nothing on Bradley. I'm starting to think Garrick, Parker, and Croker have goat, sheep, swine, cat, dog, and chicken photos locked away in a safe.
If Saab, Schuster, and Davey have shown us anything, its that the younger, more athletic players are a good chance of out performing the perennial duds.
Agree completely. That's part of what makes it all so painful and frustrating. We really were in it and should have piled plenty of points on the board with that.
Hasler was a great coach. He was the most innovative coach in that era. His methods today appear to be no longer as effective as they were before?
The reality is that we are all in for a lot more pain as a club, unless he is prepared to make substantial changes to his team selections, and his recruitment strategy. Unfortunately I cant see this happening anytime soon.

Hi Susan, Not sure what you mean here but it certainly sucks losing and I guess that certainly creates an understandable negative bias to whatever Dessie says in his quirky way. In listening to the the press conference and watching the 1st half ( I missed the game and am watching knowing we lost) I could relate to some of the points he made. There is capability within this team and hopefully that can translate into some wins in the coming weeks.
